Prompt 2:
This game want me to lose because it seems to be an easy game of counting the candy canes. However, what appears to be easy is in fact every hard to play. The mechanic is simple, clicking on the candy cane to count them within 3 seconds, but with the fast pace of the moving candy cane and player’s slow reaction time, it makes this game impossible to win (count all the candy canes). The player needs to be super fast on clicking the candy cane on screen as well as hitting on it at the right spot since the candy cane is tiny. I guess the game didn’t anticipate my moves, and there’s no enemy (or maybe the enemy is speed and timing). Again, the force that makes the game difficult is the speed and timing. The best score I got so far is 3, and I felt it is nearly impossible to count all candy canes in 3 seconds. The obsticle is very concrete in my opinion, it is very obvious that the player can’t keep up with the speed. I don’t think anything in the game is helping by how simple it is. All players could do is trying to click on as many candy canes as possible within 3 seconds. With my trackpad, it makes it even harder because there’s a delay while I move the pointer on the screen. As a player, I kept pushing myself to try to get as many as I possibly could, but it is still a “mission impossible”.
